Let's Go! ESL Beginner Vocabulary Fun! (Ongoing)

In this ongoing class, ESL beginning learners will be learning new vocabulary by "visiting" different places.  Each week we will be discussing a new place.

Learners will practice speaking in complete sentences each week as we visit a different place.  Lessons will be taught using a teacher-made slide show.   
Before each class, learners will receive 3 worksheets.  They will receive one worksheet to practice writing the words, one set of flashcards for the words, and a coloring sheet.  These worksheets may be completed before class to prepare for the lesson or they may be done after class for extra practice.
Learners are welcome to attend for one week or drop in at any time.
